Process of converting buildings from heating to cooling underway

Facilities Management has notified the Athens Campus community of the following:

During the last few weeks, the Facilities Management staff has been preparing for and in the process of converting building HVAC systems from a primary function of heating to cooling mode.

This is a process that requires activation of systems on an incremental basis. We anticipate that the conversion to cooling will be completed during the early part of the week of April 21 barring any unforeseen major mechanical issues. Individual window air conditioner units that have been reported at this time for needed repairs we will complete later that same week.

As the conditions of recent days reflect, spring weather can prove to be especially challenging for building comfort control. We appreciate your patience during this time of seasonal weather change.

If you have any questions, contact the Facilities Management Work Center at 593-2911.
